ROASTED VEGETABLE PASTA

Steps:

• Bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. While we wait, let's get started with the vegetables.
• Over medium high heat, heat 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan.
• Add about ½ cup of thinly sliced shallots and stir fry for 1-2 minutes; reduce the heat to medium and give them a little stir every few minutes or so.
• Add the mushrooms to the shallots and increase the heat to medium high.
• By this time, the water should be at a rolling boil. Add about half a pound of your favorite pasta and cook according to the package instructions.
• Add the roasted vegetables (previously prepped) and combine.
• Add about one ladle of the pasta water and turn up the heat, just a bit.
• When the pasta is done, add it to the veggies, while reserving a ladle or so of the pasta water, and toss together. If you judge the pasta dish to be on the dry side, add a little bit more of the pasta water.
• Plate the pasta, grate some cheese over the top and garnish with some minced Italian parsley.

BEST ROASTED VEGETABLES (PERFECTLY SEASONED!)

Steps:

• Adjust the oven racks for roasting 2 trays. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Chop the vegetables: Chop the cauliflower and broccoli into florets. Chop the onion into 1/2-inch slices. Cut the sweet potato in half lengthwise, in half again lengthwise, and then cut each quarter into thin pie-shaped slices (see the photo). Chop the peppers into 1/2-inch strips, then cut the strips in half.
• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (we prefer this to silicone baking mats because it results in crispier veggies). Spread the vegetables evenly onto each sheet. Drizzle half the olive oil onto each tray, then with half the seasonings onto each tray. Mix with your hands until evenly coated.
• Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes (do not stir!). Remove the pans from the oven, rotate them, and roast another 10 minutes (for 30 minutes total) until tender and lightly browned on one side. Transfer to a serving bowl or dish and serve immediately.

EASY VEGETABLE BAKED PASTA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have an oven-safe 12-inch deep skillet, you can cook the veggies and bake the pasta in it. If you do not, prepare a 3-quart baking dish by lightly greasing with olive oil.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and then cook the pasta. Check the package for cook time, but cook the pasta two minutes less than what is recommend on the box (it will continue to cook in the oven). Before draining the pasta, reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
• While the pasta cooks, prepare the vegetables. Slice the onions and bell peppers into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Using a damp paper towel, brush all dirt from mushrooms. Cut away and discard any hard stems. Chop into 1/4-inch slices or, if there are larger mushrooms like portobello, cut into 1/4-inch cubes.
• Heat a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil then add the mushrooms, in one layer, and cook until browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir then add the onions and peppers. Cook another 3 to 5 minutes or until the veggies are starting to soften and have some browned edges. Season to taste with salt and black pepper (I usually add 1/4 teaspoon of each).
• Stir the fennel, marinara sauce, and basil into the vegetables. If your skillet is large enough, toss in the pasta and if the mixture seems dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water. If the skillet is too small, combine the sauce and pasta in a bowl. Adjust with pasta water, and then add to a baking dish.
• Taste the pasta and adjust with more salt and pepper. Tuck spoonfuls of ricotta around the pasta, and then top with the mozzarella cheese. Bake the pasta, uncovered, until the cheese melts and is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.
